RIVERS AND HARBORS,
The Senate Refuses to Vote $780,
900 for Savannah

WASHINGTON, Feb. l'.-At 2 O'Clock
this afternoon the unfinished business
(the Nicaragua canal bill) was laid be-
fore the Senate. The bill was laid aside
and the river and harbor bill was taken
up. On motion of Mr.. Call an item was
inserted for the survey of certain chan
nels In Florida, and on motion of Mr..
Morgan like item was inserted for Mo-
bile river.
Senators Brown and Colquitr made a
vigorous but vain effort this afternoon 20
get the Senate to increase the apprOpria-
tons for Savannah harbor in the river
and harbor bill from $65, 1000, as reported
by the Senate Commerce Committee, to
$l50,000. Mr.. Brown offered the amend
ment proposing the increase. Both Sena-
tors spoke in favor OF it, pointing out the
importance of the work and the necessity
OF making as large an appropriation as
possible at once. But the Senate was so
unwilling to make the Increase that the
majority against it was overwhelming.
Tne Senators did not think it worth while
to call for division. This ends all hope
of large appropriation Tor Savannah,
IL IL gets the $65, 600 which the Senate has
appropriated it will be lucky. When the
bin goes back to the House, the House
will disagree to the Senate amendments.
This will cause fight in conference. The
Senators and MIR. Norwood think they
will be able to keep the amount of the
appropriation at $4,000.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Van
Wyck, increasing the appropriation Tor
the Missouri river, and providing that
the appropriation shall be expended under
the supervision OF the Secretary of War
and not that OF the Missouri River
Commission, provoked long discussion,
which had not concluded when the Sen.
ate adjourned at O'Clock.

A Gambler Gives Hint Which,
May Cause an Explosion.
AtGUsTA, GA, Feb. 1S.-Yesterdayi in
the lower portion of the city the pe2
raided gambling den, capturing among
others G.. w. Hancock, hypocrite of the
first order. The sensational part OF the
story came 90 light in the court trial this
morning, when Bill Edwards, one OF the
witnesses, stated that Hancock had told
him In jail this morning to be careful
how he spoke in court, and that the
game was protected by one who is u
great city politician. The statement
caused a little stir and many strange
whispers. but IL was not said to whom
allusi0n was made. The players are still
In custody. Their same old wheel OF for
tune has been at the court house before
to-&sy, and as 1t sits IN, the Chiefs offics
loaded with numbers it looks very
fNaaiiiar. HANCOCK is regarded as 1hypo-
crit, and appeSss to be highly infuriated
over his efrest. 1t is not his
first backslide, howS(sr, and he
has gotten out OF several such
scrapes by joining this shurch. He was
seen talking at the Salvation Army meet
ing Sunday, proclaiming ret,sion as
mans greatest happiness anc Oleasures
Hancock has reputation In Iayannah,
where he has figured in the courts a~t
posed behind the bars. He was bound
over in $1,000, and threatens when fires to
make the city papers pay dearly for tneir
harsh criticisms. He was at one
time prominent as a leading citiZA.
The salvation Army has been here Tor
some time, holding services on Broad
street, next the monument. When sing
ing was begun by them this evening
some one rendered Christmas horF.
accompaniment from an adjoining wir-
dow. The act has put the Salvationis.S
on the war path, and, bacEed by leading
citizens, they are trying TO run down the
offender, swearing vengeance. The Army
has been ridiculed great deal here.

MooARloLE.s ESCAPE.

The escape of MeGarigle, the convict
ed Chicago boodler and ex-Warden is
still the main topic ofinterest to citizens
of that city, and the newspapers con-
tinue TO devote much space TO accounts
of the escape and speculation as to where
the fugitive is hiding. The story Of the
way McGarigle got away is well told in
the following from the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Between 10 and II o'clock Saturday
night Sheriff Matson arrived with Mr..
McGarigle at his home on Grace street,
in Lake View. He had been requested
to do this to enable the ex-Warden to
meet Mr.. Doherty, his chief clerk when
he had charge of the hospital, and close
some hospital accounts. Soon after they
got into the house, Mr.. McGarigle's
children, who were upstairs, supposab-
lv in bed, called loudly for papa" to
come up and see them. He went, the
Sheriff standing at the foot of the stairs
where he could hear what was going on.
Mr.. Doherty, the chief clerk, was not
there, but two other young men, former
employees of the ex-Warden, were.
When McGarigle came down stairs he
asked why Doherty was not there, an
seemed greatly displeased at his alb
sence. He then said to the Sheriff that
he desired to take bath and the Sheriff
assented, seating himself in front
room where he could watch the door
through which his prisoner would have
to come when his bath was completed.
At the end of forty minutes the Sheriff
got tired of waiting and went to the bath
room, to find no one there. He also
found that no one had taken a bath, as
the tub was full Of clean water. His
prisoner had escaped. He was thunder
struck. He looked vainly about the
house to see if he was not hid in any of
the rooms. This was only time lost
Then he drove to the Jail and set his
deputies to work. Then to Mooney &
Boland's Detective Agency. Then to
the house of Chief Ebersold, and then
TO Prosecutor Grinnell. 1t was 1915 a.
m. before he got TO Mooney & Boland's,
and before the detectives were fairly
awake to the fact of the escape the ex-
Warden had been on his way two or
three hours. With plenty of money,
powerful friends, and his own knowledge
of men and things the chances are nine
to one that Sheriff Matson will not see
his prisoner again until he chooses to
deliver himself up" H..
There is much speculation as to why
McGarigle should want to get away. He
was pretending to be carrying on nego-
tiations with the States attorney to save
himself from the penitentiary by giving
testimony against the others of the
Doodle gang. Just there is no doubt the
explanation. The men who had most
to gain by MeGarigle's going were the
men upon whom he was getting ready
to squeal, and they no doubt laid the
plans for his escape, and probably haYe
agreed to pay him well to 90. The Chi
cago authorities are making strenuous
efforts to find the fugitive, and if such q
thing is possible McGarigle will nc
doubt be found.
